Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Strange Brooch

Fang Yu made up his mind in his heart, so he raised his right hand, and a pale blue light curtain appeared around him. With a flick of his gaze, he pulled the page of knowledge and skills closer - after the skill reached D-level mastery, it was necessary to choose a branch school, which was an important point for the Recruiter to decide his future development path, so everyone would be cautious about this.

Fang Yu had two of the most important skills that needed to be upgraded urgently, but he had not decided what genre to choose, and it was only now that he finally understood what path he should take.

The experience displayed on the panel is 106117 point, which is the last short distance of the third level, which is infinitely close to the standard line of 120,000 experience at the fourth level. This is the result of using up all the cognitive experience he had accumulated before after getting the system. And before entering the elven ruins, all his experience added up to only about half of this, early second, standard trainee alchemist.

In other words, he improved two levels in a row in just a few days. It may seem a bit fantastical to others, but in fact, it is also the result of accumulation, plus some factors of chance.

The allocable XP is 43,720 points, including 8,000 combat XP, mainly from yesterday's Great War and the previous time in the Dawn Star Adventure Group. He didn't plan to use this part of the experience for the time being, because combat skills can only be learned through combat experience, and the alchemist's combat experience has very few sources, and it is unlikely that he will spend a lot of time and energy on leveling like other classes, so he must be cautious.

After deducting the combat experience, there are 36,200 cognitive experience points left, which is the reward for the two events yesterday. It would take between 10,000 and 17,000 XP to upgrade his skills from E-level to D-level Mastery, which was almost enough for him to upgrade two D-level Mastery skills.

Fang Yu did not hesitate to choose the two skills of 'Basic Magic Guiding Theory (Kaulin-Ishurian)' and 'Aether Knowledge'. When he got the system in the Anjina Temple, he upgraded five E-level mastery skills in one go, which are basic magic theory (Kaurin-Ihurian), aether knowledge, carpentry, botany, and blacksmithing.

Alchemists will more or less use some skills from carpenters, blacksmiths, and even tailors when completing various crafts, but they are not the alchemist's job, and the level of E-level mastery before level fifteen is basically enough.

In fact, in Aitalia, if the F-level mastery is assessed as a trainee level, the E-level mastery is roughly equivalent to the proficiency level of a standard worker. And when you reach D-level mastery, you basically can't be regarded as an expert in a field.

He first upgraded the 'Basic Magic Theory (Cowling-Ishurian)' to D-level mastery, and after the skill was upgraded, the basic crafting power jumped from the original 11 to 20, and then a branch menu appeared below it-

Yes, a full page. From the end of the Age of Magic, when alchemy began to develop rapidly, until almost 800 years ago, even in the Kaulin-Ihurian alone, in fact, many doctrines and ideas have been born.

These doctrines and ideas are vast and branching out, but only three of them are more mainstream—the Ihurian Master School, the Wesnoth School of Control, and the Goblin School.

Fang Yu only paused for a moment, and then chose the most popular school of Master Ihurian with his eyes.

The reason why it is said to be popular is because the largest group of alchemists is still the vast number of ordinary alchemists. Of course, among the combat craftsmen, it has always been the world of the control school, and its school effect is to increase the maximum mana output power of the construct and the craftsman's own magic furnace, and focus more on the combat direction.

But how many combat craftsmen are there?

Not to mention the latter goblin school, the goblin school, which seems to suit him very well on the surface. But in fact, Fang Yuan understood that it was not him who really controlled the goblins, but Miss Tata, so he didn't need this school at all.

The Ishurian School, also known as the School of Manufacturing, focuses on artisan craftsmanship and the study of the nature of alchemy. For the Elector, it is the most ordinary school of life and profession, and the alchemists of the General Guild will choose this school nine times out of ten.

And at the end of this path, there is a master craftsman who can make dragon knight structures.

Its school effects are:

'When it comes to crafting with [Alchemy] modifiers, increase crafting power by 40% for all sources, +10 work accuracy, and gain [Refinement] and [Careful Crafting] skills. ’

The so-called production power is the production promotion value, the core of life and occupation. After mastering the basic magic theory of the Ishurian school, even if no other bonuses are calculated, Fang Yuan's crafting advancement value has reached as much as 28 points, which is nearly half more than that of other schools.

Not to mention that the Isharian School bonuses apply to crafting power increases from all sources, plus the bonuses to the analysis and balance attributes, and the synergistic bonuses related to blacksmithing, carpentry, and tailoring, which are even more terrifying.

And that's just the beginning.

Miss Leprechaun, who was sitting at the table, watched him quietly. This is a path to a career in life - choose this path, if you don't succeed, I'm afraid it will affect the path of the combat craftsman. Because a true combat craftsman will not spend a lot of energy on the production of life professions.

But she didn't speak.

Because I don't think there is any need to repeat this reason.

Tata understood from the beginning that his knights were by no means the kind of indecisive people.

After Fang Yu chose the school, he looked at his list of skills with satisfaction. The skill elaboration of 'Basic Magic Theory (Kaulin-Ishurian) has also changed accordingly, and has become like this:

Basic Theory of Magic Wizarding (Kaurin-Ihurian) [Skill/Knowledge/Alchemy/Level D]: You are one of the official craftsmen of Kapka, Ehchenpal, Goland, or Farboko, and your years of well-trained education have made the terms formula, ether, structure, and crystal deeply rooted in your heart, and you gain 20 basic crafting power (advancement progress) when you engage in [Alchemy]-related crafting and production. Thanks to the Kingdom's technological bias, the affixes related to [Heat Dissipation], [Stability], and [Magic] are increased by an additional 20%.

You choose to study under the Ishurian School, which is the most influential sect in the Cloud Sea region, and you value the basics of alchemy and the most traditional values of the craftsmen, and when it comes to crafting with [Alchemy] modifiers, you increase crafting power by 40% and +10 work accuracy from all sources.

[Refinement]: When it comes to crafting [Alchemy] modifiers, you can make a secondary connection for each successfully connected structure point, and the working accuracy of the secondary connection is required to be increased by an additional 30%, and when the connection is successful, the balance of the accuracy of the structure point is increased by 10%, and failure is equivalent to damage to the structure point.

[Crafting with Caution]: School ability, when it comes to crafting related to [Alchemy] modifiers, you can use half of the crafting power to gain higher work accuracy, and when you use this ability, the work accuracy is increased by an additional 50%. (If the crafting power is not counted, this ability will also be invalidated.) For example, refinement and polishing. )

As we all know, when a craftsman makes a magic guide, every structural point it connects needs to use the property of work accuracy. In the case of a successful connection, there are often cases where the working accuracy exceeds the required accuracy, and the accuracy of the overflow is called the accuracy balance.

The accuracy balance attribute will gradually accumulate during the production process, until the moment the work is completed, it will be settled by a special effect. After settlement, the higher the balance of work accuracy, the higher the quality level of the final product, and even the labels of 'fine' and 'flawless' appear.

In this regard, the Ishurian School, which has the ability to [refine], obviously has a unique advantage, at least in the Korin Kingdom, the Seiko craftsmen are basically all from the Ishurian School.

After upgrading the basic magic guidance theory, Fang Yu did not stop, and raised the knowledge of ether to D-level mastery, and easily chose the Netweaver School.

Aether Knowledge [Skill/Knowledge/Aether/Level D]: Whether it's magic, naturalism, elemental analysis, or alchemy, the names vary, but the method of understanding the world remains the same as the essence and foundation - aether magic. This ability allows you to familiarize yourself with and master the ability to use core crystals and aether magic below D-rank, and gain a 20% bonus on all tests related to [Aether] modifiers.

You believe that Aether Mana is distributed in a reticulated pattern, that the flow follows the Erin Principle, that you are a supporter and admirer of the School of Webweavers, that you spend 25% less time crafting Core Crystals, and that your Mana Reserves are increased by an additional 20%.

[Spider Web Effect]: School ability, when the mana reserve is higher than 50% of its maximum reserve, the mana recovery speed is reduced by 30%, and when the mana reserve is lower than 30% above its reserve, the mana recovery speed is increased by 40%.

There are many useful categories in the school of aether knowledge, but Fang Yu still chose the more remote web weaver, because this school is more suitable for his ability.

On the one hand, because the manufacture of one-type crystals was too time-consuming, it took him almost the whole night to completely transform the core crystal of the Kingfisher αAE Magic Furnace. The non-core crystals are also basically several times more time-consuming than crystals of the same quality, and the ability of the weaver to reduce the manufacturing time of the core crystals in this regard can be said to be specially designed for him.

On the other hand, the ability to increase mana reserves and regeneration is also suitable for goblins, and he has personally experienced how terrifying the consumption of mana can be when Tata controls the goblin construction.

After improving the skill mastery, 33,000 experience points were spent like water. Because of the accumulation of knowledge, his intelligence evaluation has increased slightly, from the original F++ to E-level, his learning ability has increased from 177% to 180%, and his memory and arithmetic power have increased to 37 and 55 respectively.

In addition, language and analytical skills have also improved by 1 point each, and the evaluation of perceptual attributes has not changed. As for the physical attributes, not lowering the evaluation is already very face-saving for him.

Fang Yu was actually aware of this problem - as a combat craftsman, his combat experience was a little too little.

Although his current path is more inclined to traditional craftsmen, some necessary combat experience is still needed. Otherwise, if you don't pay attention to the evaluation of physical attributes, you won't be able to cry if you really cry.

Fortunately, Fang Yu has begun to consciously solve this problem.

After adding skills, he gently closed his hand, and all kinds of light pages and panels turned into nothingness, like quicksand passing away. The hut was still cramped in front of him, and Tata sat at the table, looking up at him calmly.

The space was quiet for a while, and some kind of tacit understanding seemed to have been established between the two, and outside the window in the distance, the sound of sky blue shouting and screaming kept coming from the forest.

Fang Plover picked up his Walker II, looked at Tata, and asked, "Do you want to go out and try new toys?" ”

Tata shook his head.

She said something else: "Mr. Knight, do you remember the last thing that happened last night?" ”

Fang Yu hugged the Walker II, which was almost half his size, was stunned, and asked rhetorically, "You mean the story that Mr. Mazak told us?" ”

"He's not telling the truth, Mr. Knight." Tata replied.

"Huh?"

Tata asked again, "Do you remember what that little girl told you before?" ”

"Sky blue? Which one? Fang Yu didn't react for a while.

"The president of the Black Goat Chamber of Commerce, Rune-Lincius."

"Ah, I remember this guy, Sky Blue is gnashing her teeth at this guy. He seemed to have given Miss Atira a brooch, and that brooch ......" Fang Yu said this, and suddenly froze: "Ah, that brooch ......"

"The little girl had said before that since twenty years ago, this man would go to the traveler's camp every late summer for a period of time and would not leave until before the winter solstice. And now, Aquinn is the end of summer. ”

Miss Elf's voice was very quiet, as if she was saying something completely unrelated to them. "Mr. Knight, I just found another thing in the community-"

"It is said that Mazak's father helped a young man thirty years ago," she said slowly, "although I don't know who this young man is." But seven years ago, when Mazak took over the hotel, he encountered some financial difficulties, and in the end, the Black Goat Chamber of Commerce funded him almost free of charge to help him solve this big problem. ”

Fang Yu had already recalled the appearance of the brooch at this time—on the brooch with a black background, it was the image of a terrifying dragon with a horn missing. It's spitting flames.

He gasped and subconsciously wanted to get the package that had already been placed. But after thinking for a moment, he stopped again: "Was this what you were looking at in the community before, Tata?" ”

Miss Elf nodded.

"Can you be sure that the information on the community is genuine?"

"No, Mr. Knight," replied Tata, "but at least the innkeeper did not tell you exactly the truth. Whether his intentions were good or bad is something we can't speculate about yet. ”

"Then I want to go and see Miss Attila," Fang Yu vaguely felt that this matter might have something to do with the whereabouts of Attila's brother, and he immediately said, "Do you want to go with me, Tata?" ”

Miss Leprechaun shook her head.

"You don't want to see anyone else?" Fang Yu was a little puzzled: "Why?" ”

"I don't know," Tata replied, "but I have a gut feeling that if I show up in front of them, I might cause big trouble." ”

Fang Yu paused for a moment, but nodded trustingly: "Okay, you wait for me here." ”

Tata nodded slightly.

After Fang Yu finished speaking, he pushed the door and walked out.
